That's awesome!

I've thought about doing that. If I decide to not go to grad school immediately after graduation, I could easily find a job here for 3-5 years. But I don't want to teach English for the rest of my life... My passion lies in how language works and how it interacts with our minds. Really geeky stuff haha.

But I love Japan! Even if I wasn't an English teacher, I wouldn't mind being an English professor or linguistics professor here. I have started to build an identity here, and I really love my friends to death.
